Fort/Cass station is a Detroit People Mover station in Downtown Detroit, Michigan. It is located at the intersection of Fort Street and Cass Avenue, from which it takes its name.

Fort/Cass is the nearest People Mover station to the Theodore Levin United States Courthouse, John K. King Books, Fort Street Presbyterian Church, WDIV-TV's studios, and the Detroit intercity bus terminal.

The People Mover shut down temporarily on March 30, 2020, due to decreased ridership amid the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] Following the system's May 2022 restart, the station reopened on September 14, 2022.[3]
